Description

The utility model relates to games, mass entertainment and can be used for lotteries and other mass games based on random coincidence of numbers.

Tote game machines are widely known, based on a comparison of the degree of coincidence of a combination of numbers or digital codes generated or set by the machine and the participant in the game. The degree of coincidence of digital combinations determines the size of the gain that a player can receive through a cash register.

A known tote game machine comprising an automated cash register, a user recognition device providing access to the cash register, a device for automatically generating information corresponding to each user upon gaining access to the cash register, a device for generating game information and a processor associated with cash register (US patent N 4669730 NKI 273-138A, 1987.). The processor receives user information and game information and compares them, determining whether there is a relationship between them that corresponds to a gain. The machine may contain several remote terminals in the form of trading or cash registers connected to computers for processing financial information.

The disadvantages of the known machine for playing tote are the limited number of users, determined by the number of installed terminals, and the low comfort of the game due to the need for the presence of game participants directly in the place of installation of the terminals.

consisting in providing an unlimited number of game participants who are at a remote distance from the automatic sweepstake, the opportunity to participate in the game.

The creation of this utility model is based on the task of creating such an automatic tote, the circuit solution of which would provide the opportunity to participate in the game an unlimited number of participants who are at a remote distance from the tote.

The problem is achieved in that in an automatic tote containing a user recognition device, a computer for processing financial information, a game participant information generator, the output of which is connected to the first processor input, a game information generator, the output of which is connected to the second processor input, a sum setting device, a registration device of the result associated with a computer for processing financial information according to the invention, the user recognition device consists of series-connected blocks of communication communication with a telephone network, a telephone number identifier and a telephone number comparison unit, the second input of which is connected by a telephone number storage unit, while the input of the communication unit with the telephone network is connected to the telephone network, and the output of the telephone number comparison unit is connected to the first input of the financial information processing computer, the second input of which is connected to the amount setting device, and the third input is connected to the processor output, one of the outputs of the financial information processing computer is connected to the input of the game participant information generator, whereby the output of the result recording device is connected to the communication unit with the telephone network.

The proposed circuit solution allows you to participate in the game an unlimited number of players located at a remote distance from the location of the tote through the use of telephone communications and devices for interfacing telephone communication channels with a complex of automated computing

means operating according to a given algorithm.

The present invention will become apparent from the following example of its implementation and the accompanying drawings.

On Fig, 1 shows a structural diagram of an automatic tote;

figure 2 shows the algorithm of operation of the tote.

The automatic tote comprises a user recognition device (1), which, in turn, contains a telephone network communication unit (1.1), the output of which is connected via a telephone number determiner (1.2) to a telephone number comparison unit (1.3), the second input of which is connected to the output of the block (1.4) storing telephone numbers. The output of the block (1.2), which is also the output of the user recognition device (1), is connected to one of the computer inputs (2) for processing financial information, one of the outputs of which is connected to the game participant information generator (3). The output of the generator (3) is connected to the processor (4), the output of which is connected to one of the inputs of the computer (2) for processing financial information. The input of the processor (4) is connected to the game information generator (5). One of the computer inputs (2) for processing financial information is connected to the device (6) for setting the amount. The device (7) for recording the result is connected with a computer (2) for processing financial information. The output of the result recording device (7) is connected to the telephone communication unit (1.1).

Automatic telephone tote works as follows.

The user, having dialed the phone number on which the tote is installed, through the PBX generates a call signal from the line, which enters the communication unit (1.1) with the telephone network (for example, a telephone modem, in particular, a multi-channel modem), which provides a connection with the user, then the signal arrives in the determinant (1.2) of the telephone number, which determines the user's telephone number (for example, using means of long-distance exchanges).

The user recognition device (1), more precisely, the telephone number storage unit (1.4) contains information about the telephone numbers of users who have acquired the right to a certain number of games. This information is compared with the current user number in the comparison block (1.3) and the possibility of his access to the game is determined. If there is no tolerance, the tote is disconnected from the user. If there is tolerance, block (1.3) is connected to the computer (2), initiating the start of the computer (2) and, accordingly, the beginning of the game.

A computer (2) includes a generator (3) of information of a game participant corresponding to each user, with the help of which information received from a game participant (in particular, his phone number or an additionally dialed sequence of digits after connecting the user to the computer) is read, encoded and transmitted to processor (4). At the same time, encoded prize number information is received from the generator (5) of game information (for example, a random number generator) into the processor (4).

The processor (5) compares the codes, determines the degree of their coincidence and transmits the comparison result to a computer (2), which reads the comparison result and determines the amount of the prize won by the user (including the zero prize if the number of matches is less than the given one).

The size of the prize amount in monetary units is determined based on information about the prize amount at the time of the game received by the machine from the device (6) for setting the amount that can work, including in automatic mode, and transmitted to the device (7) for recording the result .

-After completion of the operation, the device (7) for registering the result generates a message to the user about the result of the game and transmits it to the block (1.1) of the user recognition device (1), after which the user disconnects and the machine returns to its original state.

In the case of using a multichannel modem in a communication unit with a telephone exchange, an automatic telephone sweepstake provides the simultaneous game of several users through the use of special computer software (2) for processing financial information.

All functional elements used according to the present invention can be constructed in particular in the same way as in the invention according to US Pat. No. 4,669,730. As already noted, an external modem can be used as a communication unit with a telephone line, in particular, MNP5,2400.B as a determinant of a phone number, comparison and storage units, well-known standard circuits, including those commercially available, can also be used.
